Ren has lyme disease. He was misdiagnosed for almost a decade and told it was all in his head. He ended up suffering from psychosis and PTSD because of it. He has been in Canada for almost a year receiving special treatments trying to fix the damage done to his body.
HAD Lyme disease, but he's currently battling MCAS. His stem cell transplant in 2016 cured him of Lyme, but he had it for so long he contacted other conditions. He's in Canada trying to get his MCAS under control.
@@JonNo86Still HAS Lyme disease. Stem cell therapy doesn't cure Lyme but helps fixing some of the damage like the various inflammations that come with the disease.
@@neurocide He has said in past livestreams that he's no longer battling Lyme, but he's battling with the side effects of having it for so long such as brain damage. He also said that having an autoimmune condition like Lyme run rampant for so long that it breeds other autoimmune conditions, hence why he's currently battling MCAS.
For REN, this was truly his reality. Ren had misdiagnosed Lyme disease for 7 years by conventional doctors who deemed him mentally ill, but when patients are experiencing neurological symptoms, they very often become misdiagnosed. Lyme disease can present itself as many neurological conditions including Acute Transverse Myelitis[3], Ptosis[4], Seizures, and Chronic Fatigue[1] and these symptoms can be often misdiagnosed or deemed psychosomatic. Second is dealing with the symptoms of Lyme neuroborreliosis, these neurological symptoms often leave patients feeling drained and debilitated as they begin losing their quality of life. Over time, patients find themselves unable to do the things they love as they struggle to get ahead of their progressing symptoms.
I was misdiagnosed for 25 years, used as a Guinea pig for the Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex throughout it all... Driven insane with the psych meds, driven to addiction with pain pills, anxiety meds, sleep meds, adderal... My heart stopped and I now have a pacemaker/defibrillator... Lyme was finally diagnosed, went off ALL the meds, and at 59 I'm finally awake and aware! Ren is a GIFT to my soul!! He GETS IT!! And he's bringing us together through his gift. We are no longer alone in our experiences. Much love! ❤
Ren has Lyme Disease but it was misdiagnosed for close to 10 years as all kinds of mental issues, he was very very sick for a long time, bedridden for 23 hours a day.
If you are on any pills for your mental health eventually your brain does build a tolerance and you have to slowly switch to a new one, the process of even switching can take your through an emotional and medical nightmare being weened off your old stuff to the new stuff kicking in.
@@davedavenport8673he’s also seen Hi Ren, I don’t believe anyone watched Hi Ren and then didn’t do the bare minimum of reading about the artist or read the comments which most definitely explain the disease
Imagine everything you said about Ren's illness, only both himself and those 'treating' him didn't know he had Lyme disease and so they started saying it was all in Ren's head (and giving him a load of drugs that further damaged him he didn't need). Then imagine what that would do to a person when you don't even have enough energy to get out of bed and don't understand why! If you guessed psychosis then go to the top of the class 😮
Ren has autoimmune disease (Lyme's Disease) from a tick bite. He was misdiagnosed for many years, receiving all sorts of treatments and drugs that never helped.
He eventually received stem cell treatment which did help him recover to a degree. Now he's getting treatment in Canada to rebuild his immune system, undo the brain damage, etc..
REN was treated (mistreated) unbelievably badly, some of the doctors he saw actually laughed at him! I hope they suffer guilt for that, it’s inexcusable for a doctor to laugh at someone describing symptoms & pain. My heart hurts for h8m & the harm done to him by doctors that just didn’t bloody care!
As people have said, he had misdiagnosed Lyme disease. But because of some of the treatments and incorrect treatments, he now also has mast cell activation and stripped myelin
Boyd, you constantly impress me with how insightful you are when looking into the lyrics of things, but this is the first time I've been straight up shocked, because of your baseline knowledge of just illness and treatments. Is there training there? or just well-read I wonder. On a side note, I think "Losing *patience* (patients) with the process" is one of the greatest doubles.
Ren should have come to you years ago before seeing all the doctors and misdiagnosis! Glad you finally got to this one. Your reactions are always on point! Please do all the Ren!
Ren has lymes disease that was misdiagnosed for about 10 years. It's actually quite heartbreaking what he went through. He's currently in Canada receiving medical treatment. He has been there for almost a year now. So, all of the songs you have reacted to were written while being very sick. So, now maybe their lyrics and the topics will make more sense to you.
Yes .. instead of Lyme disease, he was treated as though he had bipolar because he had years of misdiagnosis and was fed drugs like diazapam and sertraline which like he said in Hi Ren gave him psychosis. This song and his new songs were penned when Ren was at his most psychotic. Actually sick boy came at a similar time as hi Ren. In order his songs make a lot of sense. He's now being treated in Canada for his Lyme disease. Knowing when his songs were penned is key to Rens music. They have come to us out of order because he was bed ridden for about 8 years.
Thank you sir, for one of the top reactions I have seen to date regarding this Ren track. From the start, and your statement regarding how hypochondria can manifest a physical response, through your closing thoughts advocating the need for change, you once again went through said door of a standard reaction cave, if you will. It doesn't take total anarchy to not be complacent and want to explore new concepts and options. Independent thought and curiosity are regarded as an enemy of the broken systems that are making humanity atrophy while destroying the natural world. Perhaps as more folks champion breaking free from the herd and actually do so, some establishments may fall into chaos, but we may be the better for it. Looking forward to more of your insights as your reactions are nearly always though provoking.
He has Lymes disease and is currently undergoing Stem cell procedures in Canada. He was misdiagnosed for 10+ years and given incorrect meds for Bipolar and other illnesses which had a dire effect on his mental health and health in general, which left him bedridden for a number of years, suffering psychosis and unable to keep food down.
He is Not getting stem cell treatment in Canada. He got stem cells in 2016-17 which allowed him to rejoin life. Once this album is released he will get heavy duty antibiotics which will come ith a heavy reaction because of his autoimmunity. It's called a Herxheimer reaction. They are trying to reduce inflamation and toxins that were built up over the years in order to allow his brain to heal. No guarantees. He will likely be dealing with autoimmunity for life . He is such an inspiration.
Yes, ren has lyme. He also was misdiagnosed for many years. Which is why he had many other side effects that were unnecessary. Now he is in canada for special treatments since almost a year while all of his rise is going on. October 13th the album is coming out and he has a good change with a fantastic chart position. As a independent artist no less.
He does have lyme disease. Im sure many people have explained to you by now what Ren has been thru and is still going thru. But man you're a smart mofo. Ive noticed that in all your reactions but your breakdown to figure out it was lyme by the lyrics was crazy smart!
If you haven't done Money Game you really should. There are two parts (watch the lyric video for part 2) but you'll really get it i think. Part 3 comes out in 3 weeks and Ren is really excited about it. If you've already done them, I'll check when I've finished this, then apologies for missing them! Ren was misdiagnosed for so long and medicated for the wrong things for years, including i believe for trauma response (ie his mind was making him sick), he was utterly debilitated by the meds and Lymes. A lot of his older songs give a real insight into this period of his life. 🖤
In the end, after trying everything, even "snake oil" he realised he had Lymes but couldn't convince Drs, so lied about his symptoms so he would be given the correct antibiotics for Lymes, which started to work, so he knew he was on the right track, he then self funded two stem cell treatments, and that was the beginning of his road to recovery. A road he's still on.
As mentioned He was misdiagnosed ME, When actually had Lyme Disease. He finally found out 10yrs later at 27yrs old. The Lyme disease has gone, but what he's left with is the effects of Lyme D, but far worse, is the side effects Ren's suffering from all the medication he took for ME, which didn't need. If caught early Lyme D. can be cured easily with anti biotics,
Periodically narrowing focus to view shadows on the cave wall can help you see additional patterns to the degree that you can remain objective. The utility of this is finding ways to help educate those within the cave to find their own path out. But yes, stepping outside the cave is the only way to see sufficient context to gain wisdom. And once one steps outside, as long as they don't cower and run back inside never to return, the perspective shifts so that those who love being inside the cave wall become seen as petty and foolish. The darkness is the path to the outside, but only the mentally brave are willing to fully face the darkness. And that is the difference.
A monumental moment in the late 1980’s music and top quality. This is the Coldcut remix, with many additional samples. The one you said you recognised was Ofra Haza ‘Im Nin’Alu’
Going to my doctor with the first visible signs of lime desease and telling him i´m a Wildlife Photographer spending a lot of time outdoors, he instantly took a blood sample and we started a antibiotics therapy. Fortunately nothing worse happend.
Wow what an analysis!! Just wanted to add that Ren received 2 stem cell procedures back starting around 2016 (hence the stem cell poster boy) which basically is what brought him back to the land of the living giving him some form of quality of life away from being bedridden for nearly a decade. His treatments in Canada now are to help improve things even more.
don't apologize for being brilliant. that was a great reaction. you see through a filter of such a vast general knowledge, it's fun to watch your mind work.
Dude you fuckin rock! A couple of years ago i found your channel. I was at home helping my Da while he was very sick. When he was sleeping i would put on your videos:)
Love MrLBoyd for this, picks up so quick the sickness, pays so close attention and catches it so fast. Love your reactions, never wastes time getting into it either.
Love your reactions man. Ren is truly an example of someone who has gone through the wringer and continues to persevere in his creativity, his mission and his life and is an inspiration to us all. I loved the Plato analogy.
Ren contracted Lyme disease… for ten years, he was told that it was all in his head, which messed with his head a little… on top of that, they put him on various different meds to help whatever was supposedly going on in his head, which made him even worse. Ten years later, he’s finally receiving the help he needs.
The Lyme Disease was ravaging his body for years causing damage while in the mean time he was being misdiagnosed and being told his physical ailments were all in his head, this caused him real mental health problems along with being givens Medication that he didn't need and which caused him other problems.
He was misdiagnosed for years (so Lyme disease ran rampant), leading him to M.E., psychosis, chronic fatigue, inflammation everywhere. He is still being treated for the issues. He had to go to Canada for help.
Thanks for the music reaction and also the breakdown on Lyme disease in a snapshot. Very interesting. This sounds like a topic you have a personal connection to.
Your ending is not a buzz kill. It's reality. We have been living an alternate blinding reality. It takes guts to pull the vail and see the light clearly.
They missed the bullseye phase at the start, and only understood he was sick when the more serious longer term symptoms showed up. And they missed it. Nothing physical responded to treatments so they efrbtualky told him is was in his head and started treating mental diseases that didn’t exist. Plus all of this obviously made him depressed. Plus the Lyme disease itself, when untreated, eventually effects the brain...
His misdiagnosis and subsequent suffering have obviously deeply effected Ren. It is a common thread in a lot of his songs. Can’t imagine being told I was crazy just imagining my symptoms then to find out the Doctors were wrong. I’d be pissed enough to start knocking a few of them around.
The antibiotics would of been great 8 or so yrs ago when he was likely showing first symptoms of the lymes disease. But after yrs of lymes disease tearing through his body and deteriorating it he developed autoimmune disease and psychosis. Along with all the psycho meds they gave him because it was just in his head and nothing else was wrong, he developed many more issues. Only now after all these yrs is he trying to repair some of the damage. The whole incident ruined many parts of his body and his brain.
I love how the worker almost cuts Ren off with her response a split second before Ren finishes a sentence. Gotta see the next patient asap. Whats worst than ignorance is being confidently wrong.
People say Lyme and that's true but he has given an update since he went to the hospital in Canada. He was diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. I have that too so I'm really familiar with it. It's a mechanistic diagnoses rather than a causative one if that makes any sense. Mast cells are the cells that degranulate and cause the inflammatory response. WIth MCAS your cells degranulate in an abnormal way and in response to a lot of triggers and cause multisystemic inflammatory response and it can be any system including the brain. That's where a lot of the psych stuff comes in. When you have encephalitis you are gonna not think or behave correctly.
I saw him around but wasn't in the headspace for a new music. Gave in just last night and dammm I wish I wouldn't have waited. Great react as always. By far my fav human reactor outta all of em .
You’re not a buzz-kill. Whenever I hear the truth spoken about climate in an unexpected context it is deeply consoling and encouraging. Thank you for your clarity and passion. I’m clinging to the hope the indicators of breakdown can trigger a big enough change in time to save ecosystems. But it seems we need to go close to the brink before politicians and world leaders will act. My guess is it’ll happen when they’re scared of us (all of us) rather than when they grasp the reality of climate breakdown. Love this breakdown. You seem very knowledgeable about medicine. I hope that’s because of your profession (?) and not because you or someone close to you is ill
I thoroughly enjoy the level of your opened mind and intelligence. I often notice the our systems appear to be just like Plato's cave when people are so stuck in doing things a certain way and fear of changes.
This doesn't apply in the UK. We don't pay for our health care like Americans do. A small portion of our wages comes out monthly if we work as a contribution to all, if you dont work you dont get charged and everyone gets healthcare without charge. The most we pay is for our medicines and they are all subsidised, so regardless of the prescription wr only pay about £10. Unless you have a chronic condition like diabetes or are elderly/pregnant or under 18 . Then it's free. All the contrary, our NHS has been so underfunded over the last few years that it's barely able to cope anymore. Add that to the problem that Lyme disease is not very common here. So they probably looked for obvious reasons as to why he was complaining and when they didn't find them they fobbed him off as a mental health case. He was unlucky that no one took him seriously and didn't want to spend any further resources on finding out what was wrong.
It won’t hurt your reactions to look up questions you have about something you’re hearing. Plus it’ll help you understand what’s going on instead of guessing.
I'll go out the cave door, absolutely, but the fact is that I'll always seek to return to the cave because the cave is safe and comfortable. There is no point going through that door and just wandering off into the darkness & light of the 'real world' if nobody ever goes with you either, you just end up getting lost. Never be afraid to walk through that door, but never be afraid to return to the sanctity of the cave either. It is a 2 way door.
Rather than his mental state making him believe that he was physically sick, it was actually the other way around. The medical professionals told him he was mentally ill, gave him loads of pills, didn’t diagnose that he actually had Lyme Disease, which can be easily treated in the early stage. Poor Ren, and poor anyone else who has this experience.
Ren has lyme disease. He was misdiagnosed for almost a decade and told it was all in his head. He ended up suffering from psychosis and PTSD because of it. He has been in Canada for almost a year receiving special treatments trying to fix the damage done to his body.

Damn tragic we all hope ren gets better

The f'd up thing is how easy it is to catch Lyme disease, yet it is incredibly rare for doctors to ever look for it.
yeah, we know

Yep. Suicide danger has been highest for me during f’d up med changes/withdrawals. It’s terrifying. 💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊
It took you one song and less than 30 seconds to know it was Lyme. It took the NHS nearly a decade to get that right.
to be fair, they didn't know he was bitten by a tick, but yeah, it can be tough to diagnose long after the fact.

Thank you for your comments, they show me an authentic and well-educated man. I appreciate this.
Love all your reactions!! You are so insightful!❤
Great reaction! I knew it would be! I feel like your next step should be 'Money Game'.
Thanks for the music reaction and also the breakdown on Lyme disease in a snapshot. Very interesting. This sounds like a topic you have a personal connection to.
stopping by not sure if i saw it or not but everyonce in a while i go back to old reactions for the heck of it

I love how the worker almost cuts Ren off with her response a split second before Ren finishes a sentence. Gotta see the next patient asap.
Whats worst than ignorance is being confidently wrong.
People say Lyme and that's true but he has given an update since he went to the hospital in Canada. He was diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.
I have that too so I'm really familiar with it. It's a mechanistic diagnoses rather than a causative one if that makes any sense.
Mast cells are the cells that degranulate and cause the inflammatory response. WIth MCAS your cells degranulate in an abnormal way and in response to a lot of triggers and cause multisystemic inflammatory response and it can be any system including the brain. That's where a lot of the psych stuff comes in. When you have encephalitis you are gonna not think or behave correctly.
I saw him around but wasn't in the headspace for a new music. Gave in just last night and dammm I wish I wouldn't have waited. Great react as always. By far my fav human reactor outta all of em .
Was waiting for this.. was worth it :)
Excellant reaction 👍👌❤️ something is gotta give.. Think it's getting to a breaking point 😏 need to change 😉
You’re not a buzz-kill. Whenever I hear the truth spoken about climate in an unexpected context it is deeply consoling and encouraging. Thank you for your clarity and passion. I’m clinging to the hope the indicators of breakdown can trigger a big enough change in time to save ecosystems. But it seems we need to go close to the brink before politicians and world leaders will act. My guess is it’ll happen when they’re scared of us (all of us) rather than when they grasp the reality of climate breakdown.
Love this breakdown. You seem very knowledgeable about medicine. I hope that’s because of your profession (?) and not because you or someone close to you is ill
im impressed by your pharmacological knowledge..new to your chanel what is your day job?
Promo vid is for sick boi 2 can't wait fire reaction as always
I thoroughly enjoy the level of your opened mind and intelligence. I often notice the our systems appear to be just like Plato's cave when people are so stuck in doing things a certain way and fear of changes.
💯💯💯💯 good video 👍🏽
Surprised you had not done this one😮
He has Lyme but was misdiagnosed for like 8 years. That led to many other illnesses
Hey there Doctor Boyd !!
A patient cured is a customer lost
This doesn't apply in the UK. We don't pay for our health care like Americans do. A small portion of our wages comes out monthly if we work as a contribution to all, if you dont work you dont get charged and everyone gets healthcare without charge. The most we pay is for our medicines and they are all subsidised, so regardless of the prescription wr only pay about £10. Unless you have a chronic condition like diabetes or are elderly/pregnant or under 18 . Then it's free. All the contrary, our NHS has been so underfunded over the last few years that it's barely able to cope anymore. Add that to the problem that Lyme disease is not very common here. So they probably looked for obvious reasons as to why he was complaining and when they didn't find them they fobbed him off as a mental health case. He was unlucky that no one took him seriously and didn't want to spend any further resources on finding out what was wrong.
Love the plato reference
It won’t hurt your reactions to look up questions you have about something you’re hearing. Plus it’ll help you understand what’s going on instead of guessing.
Dude, love your mind. People on the spectrum are freaking amazing. See one "Hugh Ross." Great reaction, love the channel.
What an amazing analysis.
Totally awesome 🖤
Great commentary
Show! That simple,!❤
He has limes desese. Was mis diagnosed for yrs.❤🏴👊👍
I'll go out the cave door, absolutely, but the fact is that I'll always seek to return to the cave because the cave is safe and comfortable. There is no point going through that door and just wandering off into the darkness & light of the 'real world' if nobody ever goes with you either, you just end up getting lost. Never be afraid to walk through that door, but never be afraid to return to the sanctity of the cave either. It is a 2 way door.
I never noticed the "sterroroid" detail. Thanks for that!
Rather than his mental state making him believe that he was physically sick, it was actually the other way around. The medical professionals told him he was mentally ill, gave him loads of pills, didn’t diagnose that he actually had Lyme Disease, which can be easily treated in the early stage. Poor Ren, and poor anyone else who has this experience.
... shadow of Plato...TRUTH!
Genius. The History of the end of the world.
Alright this one dipped into heavy satire with the hydro-somethin A and "read it recently in a medical journal" bit. I prefer when you keep it subtle.
